Sweets

How do we know "sweet Tooth" was coined in Kentucky? Anywhere else it would be "Sweet Teeth" HEY-O

I mean, it's like eating at a Cinnabon, but you don't hate yourself afterwards. Baked Bliss has been providing the best cinnamon rolls Waco could possibly ask for since 2012. Oh, you're too good for cinnamon rolls? Cool. How about a bacon cheddar scone? Or the Breakfast Empanada with eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese wrapped in kolache dough? Baked Bliss has a number of gluten-free options, as well, for the most discerning wheat-intolerant member of your community.

We're originally from Houston, so we automatically despise anything from Dallas (except you, Adrian Beltre, you're a Hall of Famer for sure. And you, brother- and sister-in-law and nephews and niece, you're cool, too). Chills 360 is a Dallas-based chain serving Thai-inspired ice cream rolls. Think Marble Slab with a vision. 12-year old you is hearing ska music for the first time in your head right now. They use a plate that makes the cream hit -16° F, which makes it smoother and creamier. Just get some and see if you don't thank us.

The [puts hand to mouth and yells in your ear] NERDS will be happy to know that Heritage is born and raised in Waco using locally sourced ingredients to craft their delicious ice cream and cookies. Everyone else is fine with knowing that Heritage is straight-up Waco and provides craft, homemade ice cream to anyone who graces the door with their presence. Blake and Kimberly grew up in Waco and graduated from Baylor and do not use additives or preservatives for their wonderful ice cream and cookies.

Hey Sugar Candy Store

You'll be like a kid in a candy store - haha get it - with one visit to Hey Sugar. They have candy that you would only find in 1940s-era cartoons, and some of the best ice cream in town. There's no reason not to find something you love at Hey Sugar.

Katie's has been in operation for over 15 years and serves sliders, brisket hot dogs, and custard - all of which are ridiculously good. Get yourself a Vortex, a Cyclone, or some other meteorological anomaly that can mess you up. Anything on their menu can be transformed into a low-carb option, as well.

I mean. These are the best cookies I’ve ever had. Hands-down. That’s not an exaggeration. I’m not out to curry favor here. These are the creamiest, densest cookies you could ask for. I don’t know what else you want me to say here. You don’t even have to go to them, they’ll deliver this gooey goodness to you.

3104 Stallion Drive.

Order first. Pick up is between 5pm-10pm Sun. Check website (above) for delivery details.

I need all of their donuts in my belly all of the time, and I need them in there now. Nightlight has been voted as having the Best Donuts in Waco. Currently operating out of their food truck, follow them on Instagram for their updated locations and hours.

Who doesn't like cookies and ice cream? Vladimir Putin, for one (unconfirmed) Psychopaths, for another (confirmed). Pokey O's keeps things fun by revealing on Instagram where they'll be that day, so make sure you're following, because missing out on their sweet treats is a fate worse than death.

Get a number of incredibly-crafted cupcakes, like Banana & Cream Cheese, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Creme de Menthe, and Raspberry Lemonade. While you're there you can order your truffles, wedding cakes, and Quinceanera cakes for your special event.

What About Cupcakes starts with Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Peanut Butter, and Oreo cupcakes. But they might change things up and offer a different flavor. The flavors and the $2.50 price might change by the day and there's literally nothing you can do about it. Take the cupcake, say thank you, enjoy it, and go about your day. I respect that business model. Get some sugar cookies, too.

1001 Franklin Avenue

10am-6pm, but if they sell out and close early, you can't be mad at them or us.
